Random Roles: Margot Kidder (A.V. Club) On filming Tribulation Force:
"I didn’t even know it was a Christian movie. Me and Howie Mandel were sitting there going 'What happened to my character?'...And they went 'Well, straight up in the Rapture.' And I went 'The what?' And they explained the Rapture and the end times to me, and I went 'Oh shit. I’m in one of these movies.'" A thoroughly entertaining interview.
That was a fun read. She's a straight shooter.

Isn't she the one who had some well-publicized mental health issues? 'Cause the interview doesn't even go near that.

She kinda did here, mudpuppie:

AVC: You did a lot of television after that.

MK: Well, then I got a reputation for being sort of nuts and difficult, because I was at that point, so I wasn’t much in demand. And also, on the basic level, I’d made a lot of movies that didn’t make money. And if you make movies that don’t make money—I mean, it is a business, after all—you are not in demand.

It's a good interview; what a character!

Weird. How did I have no idea that Lois Lane was married to one of my favorite writers?

I barely know who Margot Kidder is, but, yeah, she's a really funny interview.

Nice read. I love people that are that direct.

Maybe as an actor this is true but I keep hoping this will hit Oliver Stone between the eyes and yet he keeps cranking out the craziest movies nobody sees.

I met Margot Kidder at a movie junket a long time ago. I thought she was sweet, but I didn't realize she was so witty!
